'You would hardly believe it. but many

after their terms have expired" said one
Of the keepers of the Kings County
Penitentiary to a reporter. 'Long-term
prisoners of both sexes learn TO love their

male ward we have two or three life
prisoners. These have become so accus-
toned to the rules and equations OF
prison life that hardly tn n ( they would
escape ii an opportunity was offered them.
As you see they have decorated and fur
nished their cells, and have evidently made
up their minds that they have come TO stay.
And then there is another class of prison

able TO earn an honest living outside, pre-
